[QUOTE="Vombat, post: 425082, member: 10499"] Let's not mention the pine plantations grown on State Forest land leased from the Government and the irreparable damage done to the historical and archaeological record with all the large-scale logging and ripping. Around Creswick the pines are now on second or third or so rotation in areas which the State Aerial Survey maps from the early 1950's showed the State Forest being almost all native at that time. Yet 70 years of pine growth and harvesting has trashed large areas of the former State Forest. As is apparent by the abundance of gorse, blackberry and pine wildings in the Creswick Regional Park (carved out of the former Creswick State Forest), Parks Victoria does very little to eradicate these infestations. As one Parks employee told me they prefer to wait for a controlled burn or bushfire to deal with the problem. Perhaps the Government should get its own house in order first and address the misuse, abuse and mismanagement of the land it currently leases out and has control/responsibility for managing before telling citizens where they can and cannot go and what they can and cannot do. :mad: [/QUOTE]
